Kick down the barricades Listen what the kids say.
From time to time people change their minds But the Frock is here to stay.
I've seen it all from the bottom to the top Everywhere I go the kids wanna Frock.
Around the world or around the block Everywhere I go the kids wanna Frock.

This is my Bambooster. I built it from bamboo, hemp, epoxy, and a cut up huffy. It has a CB style frition drive, 15ah 24v LiFePO4 battery under the seat, and bamboo frame, fork, handle bar, rack and basket. The seat is plywood lam that I made to fit a template of my back, covered with padding and black cloth.

It's pretty. It looks like a huge labour of love and I'm surprised it as as light as the 38 lbs you mention elsewhere.

For about a year now I been thinkin bout putting together a trike bike just to get down to the beer store and back, made out of recycled parts of a handfull of rescued junk regular bikes with a custom frame put together with glue, screw and tattoo, such as a "2 x 4" wood frame, or, plastic plumbing pipe, or something like that. Maybe including hacksawed metal frame parts glued screwed and bolted with no welding.

I got a feeling in my soul about this man. I pray to Lord God that he be greatly blessed in every righteous thing he tries to do. Make him to be a Righteous Servant to do many wonderful righteous Good Works.

Oh goody, another "bike" "frame" with no truss and no meaningful resistance to bottom bracket sway. Somebody tell these nincompoops that bike frames look the way they do because smarter people than them worked on the design for a long time.

This is to express my gratitude to Justin of Grin Technologies for his extraordinary measures to save this forum for the benefit of all.

Hehe... good point maybe re truss. (Oh! Alt. Planet "Search found only 93 matches: +truss") Though EVer sat on a "bentwood" chair? Very "Wet Coast" (sp?) doncha know (not the good part, the British part of NA). Plus buildup using plys of wood ("plywood"), at least in boat hull construction EXTREMELY "tough stuff". Going other way, one boat hull was "foam core" (plastic), but strength-wise could support TONS (Crews, etc.) w/no apparent stress.

BTW, one shore vehicle currently has no "bottom bracket". Pedals fine.
